Premiership Weekend Roundup: October 4-5

2008-10-06T18:19:00+00:00

Manchester City 2-3 Liverpool
Oh, that was just gorgeous. Ok, not Liverpool going behind 2-0 by halftime, or Xabi Alonso practically having his ankle taken off by Zabaleta. (And seriously, what is it about him that encourages people into dangerous tackles?) But everything after that was great.

Arsenal denied a legitimate goal, Manchester United helped by referees again

2008-10-06T17:04:09+00:00

Another week of Premier League action and another week of Blackburn Rovers and Steve Bennett getting involved in Right Result rulings. It's the third match they've each have had Right Result involvement already this term with both parties coming together in Manchester United's visit to Ewood Park... much to the ire of Blackburn boss Paul Ince.

10 Things We Learned in the Premier League

2008-10-06T10:00:08+00:00

1. Liverpool are king of the comebacks. They did it in the 2005 Champions League final, they did it in the 2006 FA Cup final, and now they're doing it in the Premier League. Two goals down at Man City yesterday and Liverpool came back to win 3-2. They also came from a goal down to [...]

Sunderland’s Grant Leadbitter With the Best Goal Celebration of the Season

2008-10-06T05:20:08+00:00

First, check out Grant Leadbitter's goal for Sunderland against Arsenal. 25 yards and in off the bar. Good stuff. But even better than that was his celebration. I don't think I've ever seen so much emotion for a goal that didn't win a trophy. But here's the reason: 22 year old Leadbitter is a Sunderland lad.

Sunderland vs Arsenal, post-match thoughts: Porto’s positive result did obscure problems after all

2008-10-05T16:08:38+00:00

With Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool all winning, the weekend ends with a bitter taste and we have to wait more than the usual week to hopefully get something positive back as International matches are next. For many, the emphatic win against Porto meant the end of the problems, of all problems, but unfortunately, that wasn't [.

Sunderland 1-1 Arsenal

2008-10-04T22:12:52+00:00

That's two more points dropped on the road. Expecting Arsenal to win every game is dangerous, but it's something that I come to expect - not necessarily every single game, but perhaps when taking on a team like Sunderland, three points is the expected outcome.

For the second weekend in a row, I felt like turning the game off.

Sunderland vs Arsenal: The positive and the negative

2008-10-04T16:27:37+00:00

The positive 1. Well, a point is better than none. 2. Almunya. If you think about it, there wasn't much he could do against the goals we conceded this and last week. When he had to save it, he did. 3. If all the teams above us win, we will be -4 from the top of the table. [...]

Sunderland vs Arsenal: 1-1, full-time report and player ratings - one step forward and two backwards

2008-10-04T16:14:25+00:00

This is as depressing as it can get. Fabregas' late equaliser may help us see the glass half full rather than half empty, but what we're experiencing in the domestic league is very painful. The reason why Denilson was replaced after 73 minutes and the reason why Vela was only given 8 minutes on the [.

Sunderland vs Arsenal: Team line-ups(Song in for Nasri) and half time report

2008-10-04T13:33:52+00:00

Half-time report It's 0-0 at half time and a heck of a frustrating one, yet again. Sunderland adopted the Hull approach with a lot of defensive action and counter-attacking when Arsenal allowed them to. Wenger replied to this approach with a cautious change: Song for Nasri to have a stronger and more compact midfield.

Sunderland host Arsenal at the Stadium of Light in today's 3:00 kick-off looking to follow the example set by Hull City last weekend.

Roy Keane to launch bid for Patrick Vieira?

2008-10-04T09:52:55+00:00

Which is a bit of a turnaround because it used to be 'Roy Keane to launch for Patrick Vieira'. And vice versa. But a lot of today's newspapers have the same story that Keano is desperate to bring his old nemesis to the Stadium of Light to boss Sunderland's midfield. The Frenchman is currently in Jose [.

Sunderland vs Arsenal: Match preview - Song could be back

It seems as if Alex Song could be back in midfield after shrugging off the injury which kept him out of the Champions League match against Porto. This is what Wenger said on Song and also on Diaby: We have no new injuries and we might have Song back in the squad for Sunderland. Diaby is [...]

Takeover Talk: SA for Newcastle, Chinese for Tottenham, American for Sunderland, no one for Portsmouth, Everton or Liverpool

After the Manchester City takeover (and the mad chase for players on the last day), some Premier League club owners came out with their hats in their hands looking for investment or if they were lucky, a big pay day. In the last month or so, 6 Premier League clubs (Newcastle United, Tottenham, Sunderland, Liverpool, Everton [.

PREMIER LEAGUE - MATCHDAY SIX

Gerrard: Win Key To Title Tilt

2008-09-28T08:20:00+00:00

Steven Gerrard believes Liverpool must reproduce their derby display on a weekly basis if they are to be crowned Barclays Premier League champions.

The inspirational midfielder admits his side have failed to hit top gear in the opening weeks of the 2008-09 campaign but feels the second-half performance in the 2-0 victory at Goodison Park has seen them edge closer to their best form.

Tough Test For Holders As Spurs Face Liverpool In Carling Cup

Carling Cup holders Tottenham face a tough task in the fourth round of the competition after being pitted against seven-time winners Liverpool in one of three all-Premier League ties.

Spurs, who defeated Chelsea to lift the trophy last season, took a break from their league troubles to dump Newcastle out in the previous round and must beat top-flight opposition again if they are to progress.

Who Is Ellis Short?

The number of Premier League clubs owned by Americans became four this week after Dallas-based businessman Ellis Short acquired controlling interest in Sunderland. Short now owns the largest single stake of Sunderland at more than 30 per cent, and gives him effective control of the northeast club. He joins fellow Americans Malcolm Glazer, Randy Lerner, Tom [.
